Description du poste

We are seeking a Manufacturing Manager in our Broomfield, CO, location.

The Manufacturing Manager will own the industrialization and manufacturing of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) subsystems for our quantum computing platforms. The Manager will lead a multidisciplinary group spanning manufacturing engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics. This position combines people leadership, technical direction, manufacturing strategy, and hands‑on execution to transition complex ultra‑high‑vacuum (UHV) hardware from prototype development into safe, repeatable, scalable production.

All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre‑employment drug test.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, develop, and align a multidisciplinary team of engineers, physicists and technicians, establishing clear accountability, priorities, operating rhythms, and effective interfaces across the organization
• Own the industrialization and manufacturing strategy for UHV subsystems, from early system builds through full manufacturing release, production ramp, and sustained production
• Set the manufacturing vision and roadmap for current and next-generation systems, including manufacturing readiness, capacity planning, process definition and control, and material strategies
• Define manufacturing facility requirements and collaborate with cross‑functional partners to design and establish new manufacturing facilities.
• Partner early with upstream design teams to define product and manufacturing requirements and drive manufacturability, assembly, testability, reliability, serviceability, yield, cost, and scalability into system architecture
• Establish manufacturing readiness criteria, design and process validation strategies, technical handoffs, release gates, and lifecycle ownership for complex hardware systems
• Ensure robust production systems are developed and maintained, including process flows, work instructions, build travelers, drawings, inspection plans, test procedures, tooling, fixtures, training, and engineering change control
• Partner with the quality team to drive safe, predictable execution against quality, yield, throughput, cycle‑time, cost, and reliability objectives using production data, structured problem solving, root‑cause corrective action, and continuous improvement
• Provide hands‑on technical leadership on the production floor, working with leads, engineers, physicists, and technicians to assemble, integrate, validate, troubleshoot, and deliver highly complex hardware
• Build effective partnerships with quality, supply chain, program management, operations, design engineering, and external suppliers to manage dependencies, resolve risks, and meet production commitments
• Establish and execute technical and programmatic plans, including milestones, staffing, resource allocation, capital planning, prioritization, schedule tracking, and risk and opportunity management
• Hire, coach and mentor a high‑performing multidisciplinary team while owning performance management, succession planning, capability development, and a culture of safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Travel up to 15%

YOU MUST HAVE

• Bachelor’s degree minimum
• Minimum 8+ years of experience in high‑technology hardware development, product industrialization, or manufacturing engineering
• Minimum 3+ years of experience leading a multidisciplinary technical or manufacturing team, including direct people‑management responsibility
• Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status

WE VALUE

• Advanced degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering or a related technical field
• Demonstrated experience transitioning complex prototype hardware into repeatable, production‑ready systems and leading manufacturing readiness through release and ramp
• Experience leading cross‑functional engineering teams designing, industrializing or manufacturing highly complex hardware
• Experience with ultra‑high vacuum (UHV) or extreme‑high vacuum (XHV) systems, precision mechanical assemblies, optics, photonics, cryogenics, atomic‑physics hardware, or complex scientific instrumentation
• Strong understanding of DFM/DFA, process validation, configuration management, product release, engineering change control, and sustained production support
• Experience defining manufacturing strategy, readiness plans, capacity models, process definition, and facility layouts
• Demonstrated success establishing scalable production systems through tooling, fixtures, test equipment, process flows, work instructions, inspection plans, training, and manufacturing readiness reviews
• Hands‑on experience partnering with engineers and technicians to assemble, integrate, test, troubleshoot, and improve complex hardware in a cleanroom or controlled manufacturing environment
• Proficiency with structured problem‑solving and continuous‑improvement methods, including root‑cause corrective action, statistical analysis, yield improvement, and production metrics
• Experience managing suppliers, outsourcing strategies, material flow, and cross‑functional dependencies in support of production rate and delivery commitments
• Strong organizational, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to set strategy, translate it into executable plans, make data‑driven decisions, and remain closely engaged with technical execution
